Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 626

"Let me do it," said Huxton, who was the closest to the door.

When Huxton saw the man behind the door after it opened, he called out respectfully, "Sir."

Patrick nodded slightly and walked into the house, making eye contact with Amelia, who was behind Huxton.

Amelia quietly glanced at Patrick's outfit. He wore casual clothes, which might mean that he did not leave to meet some big shots. Otherwise, he would have definitely worn a formal suit. Then her attention fell on the black coat hanging off on his left arm. Amelia simply asked, "Isn't the weather getting warmer these couple of days? Why did you bring such a thick coat?"

Patrick replied, "I might not have fully recovered from the cold yet, so I just took it with me. Just in case."

Amelia nodded. "Oh, then you should be more careful."

During the short pause of silence between Amelia and Patrick, Huxton interjected, "Sir, madam, dinner is ready."

Peering at Amelia, Patrick said with a slight sense of weariness, "You can eat first if you're hungry. I'm going to my room to take a shower."

Amelia nodded. "Alright."

Just as Patrick strode and brushed past Amelia, a key slipped out of his coat's pocket and fell onto the carpet, right beside Amelia's feet.

Her concentration shifted to the key at that instant. Then, she moved her right foot soundlessly to step on it under her foot.

However, this sequence of movements did not attract much attention. Even Patrick himself did not notice that the key in his pocket had fallen out.

After watching Patrick's looming outline disappeared on the second floor, Amelia turned to Huxton and said calmly, "Huxton, my arms are sore from working files after files today. Can you please bring me a bowl of rice?"

Huxton believed her and nodded before leaving for the kitchen.
